The Magic Table (Tovertafel) is a fun care innovation designed for use by people with dementia, autism and learning disabilities. It consists of a series of interactive light games that are projected on to a table and infrared sensors respond to the hand and arm movement of the players.
The aim of the Magic Table is to create “moments of joy” for the users as well as increasing physical and cognitive activity. Using the Magic Table can bring generations together and create treasured moments with family members and carers. The games are all about enjoyment and wonder and respond to even the smallest movements. Some of the games can be used to trigger memories, reminiscence and to start conversations. Others can help teach about taking turns and help improve co-ordination. Playing the games in a group can improve social interaction as well as being a fun activity.

to access resources to support transitions back to school. These resources have been prepared by the National Council for Special Education to help all children, including children with Special Educational Needs prepare for the transition from pre-school to Primary School and the transition back to school.
‘The new academic year has arrived and a lot of us are not ‘back to normal’ yet. But the work people in the youth sector have carried out since March to support young people through these challenging times has been invaluable! The National Youth Council of Ireland would like to support you in reflecting with the young people you work with on the skills they gain through your projects and work. With our ‘Share your Story’ callout we are inviting young people to share the story of their individual skills summary journey with us, in any format they like and they could win €100‘.
Submissions are open until the 8th of November 2020.
